After careful analysis by the inventor, it is found that the reason why the existing training device has the above problems is that the tongue tip is in a wet state, relatively smooth and there is no tongue depressor to block the tongue tip during use. Based on the above analysis, the inventor improves the structure of the oral muscle training device.
[0021] As shown in Figures 1-4 , an oral muscle training device in the present application comprises a training device handle 1, a tongue muscle training head 2, a lip muscle training head 3 and a connecting assembly 4.
[0022] Among them, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the training device handle 1 can be used by medical staff to hold, in order to improve the comfort and stability of the medical staff when holding, four arc-shaped grooves 13 adapted to the shape of human fingers are arranged on one side of the training device handle 1.
[0023] The training device handle 1 is provided with a connecting protrusion 11; the tongue muscle training head 2 and the lip muscle training head 3 can be detachably connected with the training device handle 1 by being sleeved on the connecting protrusion 11 through the connecting assembly 4, so that the tongue muscle training head 2 and the lip muscle training head 3 can be used once, and the training device handle 1 can be reused after disinfection, reducing medical costs, and the tongue muscle training head 2 and the lip muscle training head 3 can be installed on the training device handle 1 as needed during use.
[0024] The training device handle 1 is provided with a connecting protrusion 11 at both ends, so that the training device handle 1 can be connected with the tongue muscle training head 2 or the lip muscle training head 3 at both ends, and then installed according to the use condition. If only tongue muscle or lip muscle training is needed, the tongue muscle training head 2 or the lip muscle training head 3 can be installed on either end of the training device handle 1; if tongue muscle and lip muscle training are needed in sequence, the tongue muscle training head 2 and the lip muscle training head 3 can be installed on both ends of the training device handle 1 respectively, facilitating quick switching of training categories.
[0025] The training device handle 1 is provided with a hanging hole 12; the hanging hole 12 can be used for hanging the training device handle 1 during disinfection.
[0026] wherein, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the tongue muscle training head 2 comprises a push plate 21 and an upward protruding blocking block 22, one end of the push plate 21 is connected with the training device handle 1, and different anti-skid lines 23 are arranged on the two side surfaces of the push plate 21, and the blocking block 22 is arranged at the edge of one of the side surfaces of the push plate 21.

[0030] The card plate 31 is arc-shaped, and the connecting block 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the protruding card plate 31. The arc-shaped card plate 31 can be matched with the contour of the human lips. When in use, the card plate 31 is placed between the lips and the incisors of the patient, and after the patient cooperates to pucker the lips, the medical staff operates the lip muscle training head 3 to pull outward, so as to achieve a certain training effect on the patient with low lip closure. When in use, the lip muscle training head 3 can also be used for tongue pushing resistance training according to the needs.
[0031] wherein the reference Figures 2-4 The connecting assembly 4 includes an elastic sheet 41 and a fastener 42. The training device is provided with a connecting block 11, the connecting block 11 is provided with a clamping groove 111, and one end of the tongue muscle training head 2 or the lip muscle training head 3 can be sleeved on the connecting block 11. The fastener 42 is arranged at one end of the elastic sheet 41, and the other end of the elastic sheet 41 is fixedly connected to the tongue muscle training head 2 or the lip muscle training head 3. When one end of the tongue muscle training head 2 or the lip muscle training head 3 is sleeved on the connecting block 11, the fastener 42 can be exactly buckled into the clamping groove 111.
[0032] The push plate 21 and the connecting block 32 are provided with an insertion groove 211 corresponding to the connecting block 11 at the end connected to the training device handle 1. The insertion groove 211 is provided with a through avoiding groove 212 on one side. One end of the elastic sheet 41 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the avoiding groove 212.
